Fury Of Firestorm Is No Longer A 6 Issue Mini-Series, It's 8… Or 9

The DC Next Level title Fury Of Firestorm is no longer a 6-issue mini-series, it's 8... or 9 according to Jeff Lemire

Article Summary

Fury Of Firestorm was first listed as a 6-issue series, but DC solicitations later shifted the Next Level title to 8.
Jeff Lemire now says Fury Of Firestorm has expanded again, revealing the series is set to run for 9 issues.
Lemire also announced Fury Of Firestorm #1 sold out and is heading back to print with a second printing in June.
Current DC listings show Fury Of Firestorm #3 and #4 as part of 8 issues, leaving the final total still uncertain.

This week saw the second issue of The Fury Of Firestorm published by DC Comics as part of the DC Next Level line. And writer/cover artist Jeff Lemire told us that there would be more issues than he thought. Initially solicited as an ongoing series for the first two issues, the Lunar listings for The Fury Of Firestorm read that #1 and #2 were "of 6", indicating a six-issue series. Then issue 3 was solicited as "3 of 8" and #4 was "4 of 8" and the Lunar listings matched that. But on his newsletter, Jeff Lemire writes;

"Excited to announce that The Fury of Firestorm #1 has SOLD OUT and has gone back for a second printing! AND I can also announce that the series has been expanded from its original 6-issue format to 9-issues! I'm really happy that the book seems to have struck a chord with retailers and readers."

So nine issues now? Does this apply to any other DC Next Level comic books? Maybe we can get Scott Snyder to chime in. And Jeff also shared the process behind a previously unrevealed Firestorm cover, pencilled by Denys Cowan and inked by Jeff Lemire. This cover will be a variant for #4 out in July… see the process on his Substack. And more from Jeff later…
